Voicemail Dump Truck This Is the Show with Jeff and Ben and Alex

The best advice for day drinking? Don't do it.

If you think the GIant Bombcast spends too much time talking about Not Video Games, you're going to hate this thing.

Adventure Island was/is Wonderboy. Super Adventure Island for the TurboGrafx is definitely not a reskin, of Wonderboy The Dragons Trap.

Super Bonk on the SNES was one hell of a messed-up game, but way ahead of its time.

Day drinking is a mixed bag, sometimes you drink a good amount in the nice sunshine with friends, take a nap, and none are the wiser. Other times it leads to bingeing and days of regret.

Elena never really did it for me 'cause it's so obvious it is rotoscoped. I know some people are way into that look, but I view it as like barely a step up from photographing people on greenscreens and putting them in a game. It looks uncanny and off to me. Street Fighter 3 has a lot of amazing character animation apart from her, though. Chun-li from third strike is probably my favorite sprite-based thing ever. I think most of my favorite spritework in general is from fighting games just 'cause the sprites are so big and detailed. In a lot of games, and particularly modern sprite-based games, the trend is to go super simple and, animate those super simple sprites with a lot of frames and then slap some sort of lighting on it. It works, but it's not that impressive. It's rare that something like Owlboy comes out and actually looks just awesome.

Jeff's 2 Live Crew reference piqued my curiosity. Here's the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banned_in_the_U.S.A.

Notably:

Displeased over the decision of Florida Governor Bob Martinez who, on being asked to examine the album, decided it was obscene and recommended local law enforcement take action against it and over the subsequent action of Broward County, Florida, sheriff Nick Navarro, who arrested local record-store owners on obscenity charges for selling the group's albums and the subsequent arrest of members of the group on obscenity charges, the group included the song "Fuck Martinez", which also includes multiple repetitions of the phrase "fuck Navarro".

And my favorite part:

The group found two other men with the same names, and had them sign releases, as they thought that this action would make it impossible for Martinez or Navarro to sue them.

The best Hudson games are: Super Bomberman 3 and Super Bomberman 5. Tetris Party was also good. We need Bomberman (2D) battleroyale

Alternate opinion: day drink once, so you can understand why you shouldn't, THEN never do it again

My approach to drinking is the polar opposite of Jeff's. I like drinking in a bar when it is quiet, drinking at a leisurely pace, switching from a quiet bar to another, with no intention of getting drunk. I'm maybe a bit buzzed or even lightly drunk after it, but then I'll call it an evening before the crowds roll in.

Did Jeff basically just confirm that 1. he knows for a fact RDR2 has a BR mode and 2. Brendan Greene will be on the E3 couch this year?
